RARE PIECE.

SUFFER FROM PAINFUL,
UNSIGHTLY VARICOSE VEINS.

01:43.770 --> 01:46.907
ON THE ROAD EDITION

01:47.040 --> 01:48.175
AND WE'RE IN EASTON, MARYLAND.

01:48.308 --> 01:51.445
IN FACT, WE'RE AT
THE HISTORIC AVALON THEATRE.

01:51.578 --> 01:52.846
YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

01:52.980 --> 01:56.683
YOU CANNOT GET MORE CHESAPEAKE
THAN BEING IN EASTON, MARYLAND.

01:56.817 --> 01:59.386
IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1710,

01:59.519 --> 02:01.788
SO YOU CAN IMAGINE
THAT THERE ARE SOME

02:01.922 --> 02:04.625
REALLY WONDERFUL RELICS
IN THE ATTICS HERE,

02:04.758 --> 02:08.128
AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK
AT SOME OF THEM RIGHT NOW!

02:09.696 --> 02:10.697
APPRAISER: I WANT TO THANK YOU

02:10.831 --> 02:12.366
FOR COMING OUT
TO CHESAPEAKE COLLECTIBLES .

02:12.499 --> 02:14.534
AND WE HAVE
REALLY WHAT I THINK

02:14.668 --> 02:18.572
IS ONE OF THE ICONIC IMAGES
OF 20TH CENTURY DESIGN,

02:18.705 --> 02:21.808
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT YOU BROUGHT OUT TODAY?

02:21.942 --> 02:24.311
GUEST: I BROUGHT OUT
MY GRANDMOTHER'S

02:24.444 --> 02:25.979
TIFFANY THREE LILY LIGHT.

02:26.113 --> 02:27.848
APPRAISER: YOU HAVE INDEED.

02:27.981 --> 02:31.051
TIFFANY AND COMPANY, ONE OF THE
GREAT DESIGNERS AND PRODUCERS

02:31.184 --> 02:35.022
OF NOT MERELY LIGHTING,
BUT A LOT OF DECORATIVE ARTS.

02:35.155 --> 02:36.423
AND THIS WAS A FAMILY PIECE?

02:36.556 --> 02:38.325
GUEST: YES, THIS WAS
IN MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE,

02:38.458 --> 02:40.060
IT WAS HER DESK LAMP.

02:40.193 --> 02:41.895
APPRAISER: AND SO SHE USED IT
ON A REGULAR BASIS?

02:42.029 --> 02:43.697
GUEST: SHE USED IT
ON A REGULAR BASIS.

02:43.830 --> 02:46.199
APPRAISER: DO YOU GET TO USE IT
ON A REGULAR BASIS IN YOUR HOME?

02:46.333 --> 02:49.670
GUEST: NO, I HAVE CATS
RIGHT NOW.

02:49.803 --> 02:50.771
BUT I HAVE AT OTHER TIMES.

02:50.904 --> 02:53.974
APPRAISER: CATS AND TIFFANY
DON'T ALWAYS MIX.

02:54.107 --> 02:57.511
BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT,
AND IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT,

02:57.644 --> 02:59.312
AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
THE DIFFERENCES.

02:59.446 --> 03:02.683
THIS HAS A VERY HIGH
GOLDEN FINISH TO IT

03:02.816 --> 03:05.152
CALLED "GOLD DORE."

03:05.285 --> 03:09.256
AND FREQUENTLY YOU WOULD SEE
THIS USED IN TIFFANY'S DESK SETS

03:09.389 --> 03:11.224
AND OTHER DECORATIVE
ARTS OBJECTS.

03:11.358 --> 03:14.094
BUT THEY DID DO IT
ON A HANDFUL OF LAMPS.

03:14.227 --> 03:17.464
AND WE ALSO
HAVE WITH IT THE SHADES

03:17.597 --> 03:20.300
THAT WERE ORIGINAL
TO LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY,

03:20.434 --> 03:23.270
WE HAVE A GLASS DESIGN
CALLED "FAVRILE."

03:23.403 --> 03:26.807
THE SHADES ALONE,
WHEN THEY COME UP AT AUCTION,

03:26.940 --> 03:30.010
CAN SELL ANYWHERE
FROM $1,500 TO $2,000.

03:30.143 --> 03:31.578
ALONG WITH THE LAMP ITSELF,

03:31.712 --> 03:33.980
I WOULD VIEW THIS
COMING UP AT AUCTION

03:34.114 --> 03:37.884
SOMEWHERE $12K TO $15,000.

03:38.018 --> 03:39.453
GUEST: MERCY!

03:39.586 --> 03:41.788
[ LAUGHTER ]

03:41.922 --> 03:44.057
MY STARS!
THAT'S A WHOLE LOT!

03:44.191 --> 03:45.092
APPRAISER: AND THEN, YOU KNOW,
CERTAINLY IN A SHOP,

03:45.225 --> 03:47.294
IT WOULD BE OFFERED
AT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

03:47.427 --> 03:50.263
PROBABLY $20K AND $28,000
IN A SHOP.

03:50.397 --> 03:52.032
AND IF YOU WERE INSURING IT,

03:52.165 --> 03:54.901
I THINK THAT'S THE KIND OF
NUMBER THAT YOU NEED TO LOOK AT.

03:55.035 --> 03:55.969
GUEST: $20K TO $28,000.

03:56.103 --> 03:56.770
APPRAISER: RIGHT.

03:56.903 --> 03:59.072
THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE.

03:59.206 --> 04:01.174
GUEST: I WILL HAVE TO BE
EVEN MORE CAREFUL WITH IT.

04:01.308 --> 04:03.210
APPRAISER: DON'T LET
THE CATS NEAR IT!

04:03.343 --> 04:04.978
GUEST: I WON'T!

04:05.112 --> 04:05.946
THANK YOU.

04:06.079 --> 04:07.214
APPRAISER:
THANK YOU.

04:08.148 --> 04:09.649
APPRAISER: WHAT ALL
DO YOU HAVE HERE?

04:09.783 --> 04:12.586
GUEST: WELL, I HAVE A MENU
WITH A THANK YOU NOTE

04:12.719 --> 04:14.321
FROM AMELIA EARHART.

04:14.454 --> 04:16.757
I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF HER,

04:16.890 --> 04:18.825
AND I HAVE A PICTURE OF HER
AND HER HUSBAND

04:18.959 --> 04:22.596
ON A PARIS VERANDA OR BALCONY.

04:22.729 --> 04:25.065
APPRAISER: EVERYBODY'S
FAMILIAR WITH AMELIA EARHART,

04:25.198 --> 04:27.701
A PIONEER AVIATRIX.

04:27.834 --> 04:33.540
SHE DISAPPEARED ON HER WORLD
FLIGHT ON JULY 2, 1937.

04:33.673 --> 04:34.841
GUEST: YES.

04:34.975 --> 04:36.777
APPRAISER: DO YOU KNOW WHY
THEY WERE HAVING THIS DINNER?

04:36.910 --> 04:38.979
GUEST: MY GREAT UNCLE
WAS THE PRESIDENT

04:39.112 --> 04:42.849
OF THE NATIONAL AERONAUTIC
ASSOCIATION OF THE USA,

04:42.983 --> 04:45.118
THE PARIS CHAPTER,

04:45.252 --> 04:49.089
AND THEY INVITED HER
TO A BANQUET LESS THAN TWO WEEKS

04:49.222 --> 04:52.025
AFTER HER HISTORIC FLIGHT
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

04:52.159 --> 04:54.961
APPRAISER: THIS IS A PRETTY
ELABORATELY PRODUCED MENU,

04:55.095 --> 04:58.565
SO I SUSPECT THAT THEY THOUGHT
HER FLIGHT WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL.

04:58.698 --> 04:59.766
ON THE FLIPSIDE,

04:59.900 --> 05:02.836
SHE HAD SIGNED IN PENCIL
FOR YOUR RELATIVE.

05:02.969 --> 05:05.472
AND THEN YOU HAVE ATTACHED HERE
THIS INTERESTING NOTE

05:05.605 --> 05:08.275
WHERE HE HAD SENT HER FLOWERS

05:08.408 --> 05:10.811
AND SHE WAS THANKING HIM
FOR THE FLOWERS.

05:10.944 --> 05:13.180
THE PHOTOGRAPH,
VERY NICE PHOTOGRAPH.

05:13.313 --> 05:14.781
PARTICULARLY AUTOGRAPHED
PHOTOGRAPHS

05:14.915 --> 05:17.317
THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ENDORSED
TO ANYBODY,

05:17.450 --> 05:20.620
SOMETIMES THEY'RE ACTUALLY EVEN
MORE DESIRABLE FOR COLLECTORS.

05:20.754 --> 05:23.456
AND THE PHOTOGRAPH
OF HER WITH HER HUSBAND,

05:23.590 --> 05:26.493
I THINK IS PROBABLY
A FAIRLY SCARCE PHOTOGRAPH,

05:26.626 --> 05:29.162
AND PARTICULARLY THE FACT
THAT SHE HAS AUTOGRAPHED IT,

05:29.296 --> 05:31.765
ALONG WITH GEORGE PUTNAM.

05:31.898 --> 05:37.604
WELL, AMELIA EARHART
CONTINUES TO CAPTURE

05:37.737 --> 05:39.739
THE FASCINATION
OF MANY AMERICANS.

05:39.873 --> 05:41.208
THE PHOTOGRAPHS THEMSELVES

05:41.341 --> 05:44.878
PROBABLY WOULD BE $2,500
TO $3,500 APIECE.

05:45.011 --> 05:47.214
THE MENU ITSELF,
THE WAY SHE SIGNED IT,

05:47.347 --> 05:51.084
WOULD PROBABLY BE ABOUT
$1,500 TO $2,500.

05:51.218 --> 05:54.888
THE NOTE PROBABLY
WOULD BE ABOUT $1,500 TO $2,500.

05:55.021 --> 05:56.923
REALLY, AS A COLLECTION --

05:57.057 --> 05:59.226
THE POWER IS IN THE COLLECTION

05:59.359 --> 06:01.828
COMMEMORATING THE VERY
IMPORTANT EVENT.

06:01.962 --> 06:04.331
THERE WILL NEVER,
EVER BE ANOTHER WOMAN

06:04.464 --> 06:08.034
WHO WILL HAVE THAT
FIRST TO FLY SOLO THE ATLANTIC.

06:08.168 --> 06:09.970
I WOULD SAY THAT
THIS COLLECTION ITSELF

06:10.103 --> 06:15.041
WOULD BE WORTH IN A RANGE
OF $8K TO $10,000, OR MORE.

06:15.175 --> 06:17.744
IT WAS VERY EXCITING
FOR YOU TO BRING THIS IN.

06:17.878 --> 06:18.678
GUEST: MY PLEASURE.

06:20.280 --> 06:22.182
APPRAISER: YOU BROUGHT IN
A LIONEL TRAIN,

06:22.315 --> 06:23.383
A REAL EARLY LIONEL TRAIN.

06:23.516 --> 06:26.019
CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING
ABOUT IT. HOW YOU GOT IT?

06:26.152 --> 06:28.688
GUEST: WELL, I INHERITED
IT FROM MY GRANDFATHER.

06:28.822 --> 06:30.523
APPRAISER: LET ME GIVE YOU
THE HISTORY ABOUT LIONEL.

06:30.657 --> 06:33.159
LIONEL COHEN
STARTED A COMPANY IN 1900

06:33.293 --> 06:35.929
CALLED LIONEL MANUFACTURING,
AFTER HIS MIDDLE NAME,

06:36.062 --> 06:38.498
HIS FULL NAME WAS
JOSHUA LIONEL COHEN.

06:38.632 --> 06:41.468
HE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO MANUFACTURE IN 1900,

06:41.601 --> 06:44.938
SO HE STARTED MAKING FANS,
A LITTLE MOTOR TO MAKE FANS,

06:45.071 --> 06:47.607
BECAUSE ELECTRICITY
HAD JUST STARTED COMING OUT,

06:47.741 --> 06:49.776
AND THE FANS DIDN'T DO TOO WELL.

06:49.910 --> 06:52.212
HE WALKING DOWN THE STREET
ONE DAY,

06:52.345 --> 06:55.448
HE WENT IN FRONT OF A TOY STORE
AND SAW THIS LITTLE PULL TRAIN.

06:55.582 --> 06:57.984
AND HE SAID,
MAYBE I COULD MAKE A MOTOR

06:58.118 --> 07:00.587
AND I COULD PUT IT
INTO SOMETHING,

07:00.720 --> 07:02.589
AND PUT IT ON SOME TRACK,

07:02.722 --> 07:05.959
AND HAVE PEOPLE PUT THINGS
IN IT TO DISPLAY THEM BETTER.

07:06.092 --> 07:07.394
IT WOULD RUN AROUND
ON A TRACK,

07:07.527 --> 07:11.498
AND I'D PUT FLOWERS, OR JEWELRY,
OR SOMETHING, IN THE BOX

07:11.631 --> 07:13.433
AND LET IT TRAVEL AROUND
IN THE WINDOW...

07:13.566 --> 07:14.334
GUEST: WOW!

07:14.467 --> 07:15.702
APPRAISER: ...TO ATTRACT
ATTENTION.

07:15.835 --> 07:18.171
SO HE WENT BACK TO HIS FACTORY
AND THEY CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA,

07:18.305 --> 07:20.240
AND HE SOLD IT
TO THIS ROBERT INGERSOLL,

07:20.373 --> 07:23.677
WHO OWNED THIS LITTLE
DEPARTMENT STORE, FOR $4.

07:24.444 --> 07:25.779
GUEST: WOW!

07:25.912 --> 07:28.014
APPRAISER: WELL, THE PEOPLE
DIDN'T WANT WHAT WAS IN IT,

07:28.148 --> 07:29.482
THEY WANTED THE DISPLAY.

07:29.616 --> 07:31.618
SO A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER,

07:31.751 --> 07:33.386
ROBERT INGERSOLL CAME BACK
TO LIONEL AND SAID,

07:33.520 --> 07:35.021
"I NEED SIX MORE
OF THOSE."

07:35.155 --> 07:36.556
THIS IS BASICALLY
WHAT STARTED LIONEL

07:36.690 --> 07:38.825
INTO THE TRAIN
MANUFACTURING BUSINESS.

07:38.959 --> 07:42.295
SO YOU HAVE AN INTERESTING
VERSION OF A TRANSITION PIECE

07:42.429 --> 07:45.198
BETWEEN 1901 AND 1902.

07:45.332 --> 07:48.902
THE LENGTH IS 1901.

07:49.035 --> 07:52.639
THE BRASS REINFORCEMENTS
AND THE STAIRS ARE 1902.

07:52.772 --> 07:54.941
GUEST: INTERESTING.

07:55.075 --> 07:57.544
APPRAISER: VERY, VERY,
VERY RARE PIECE.

07:57.677 --> 07:58.878
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S WORTH?

07:59.012 --> 08:00.313
GUEST: I HAVE NO IDEA.

08:00.447 --> 08:01.715
APPRAISER: YOU HAVE NO IDEA?

08:01.848 --> 08:04.918
THIS PIECE WOULD PROBABLY
GO BETWEEN $25,000 AND $30,000.

08:05.051 --> 08:07.220
GUEST: WOW!

08:07.354 --> 08:09.589
THAT'S A LOT!

08:09.723 --> 08:11.925
APPRAISER: IT IS LIKE THE HOLY
GRAIL OF LIONEL COLLECTING.

08:12.058 --> 08:14.694
PEOPLE LIKE TO FIND THESE,
AND THEY ARE VERY HARD TO FIND.

08:14.828 --> 08:16.730
THANK YOU FOR COMING
TO CHESAPEAKE COLLECTIBLES.

08:16.863 --> 08:18.131
GUEST: THANK YOU.

08:18.331 --> 08:19.833
APPRAISER: I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU ARE PRESIDENT

08:19.966 --> 08:21.735
OF THE LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY?

08:21.868 --> 08:24.070
GUEST: YES, THE QUEEN ANNE'S
COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

08:24.204 --> 08:27.007
THE SOCIETY OWNS THIS.
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF IT.

08:27.140 --> 08:30.877
THIS SAMPLER
WAS MADE BY MARY HOPPER.

08:31.011 --> 08:33.580
HER PARENTS
OWNED CHESTERFIELD PLANTATION.

08:33.713 --> 08:35.582
HER FATHER
WAS COLONEL WILLIAM HOPPER.

08:35.715 --> 08:38.618
HER SISTER INHERITED
THAT PLANTATION,

08:38.752 --> 08:42.389
AND IN 1792
SHE SOLD A PART OF IT

08:42.522 --> 08:44.824
FOR THE COUNTY SEAT
TO BE LAID OUT.

08:44.958 --> 08:47.127
AND IS NOW
THE TOWN OF CENTERVILLE.

08:47.260 --> 08:48.862
APPRAISER: VERY DEEP
MARYLAND HISTORY.

08:48.995 --> 08:49.963
GUEST: YES.

08:50.096 --> 08:52.065
APPRAISER: NOW, IT'S DATED 1772

08:52.198 --> 08:54.100
AND YOU MENTIONED THAT
SHE WAS AN ADULT WHEN SHE...

08:54.234 --> 08:57.470
GUEST: YES, SHE WAS 38-YEARS-OLD
WHEN SHE DID IT,

08:57.604 --> 09:00.240
AND SHE DID IT TO TEACH
HER DAUGHTERS HOW TO EMBROIDER.

09:00.373 --> 09:04.477
APPRAISER: MOST SAMPLERS ARE
MADE BY GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN.

09:04.611 --> 09:06.112
GUEST: THAT'S CORRECT.

09:06.246 --> 09:08.748
APPRAISER: AND WE CAN SORT
OF TELL THAT IT'S MADE

09:08.882 --> 09:11.451
BY A MORE MATURE PERSON
BECAUSE IT'S MORE CONSISTENT.

09:11.584 --> 09:12.619
IT'S SYMMETRICAL.

09:12.752 --> 09:13.820
IT'S QUITE BEAUTIFUL.

09:13.953 --> 09:15.155
GUEST: IT'S ALMOST PERFECT.

09:15.288 --> 09:16.289
APPRAISER: IT'S ALMOST PERFECT.

09:16.423 --> 09:20.226
IT HAS A FLORAL BORDER,
AND IT HAS THE ALPHABET,

09:20.360 --> 09:21.561
AND IT'S DATED.

09:21.694 --> 09:24.264
THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
A PROVENANCE OF MARYLAND,

09:24.397 --> 09:29.269
DEEPLY, STRONGLY MARYLAND,
WITH COLONELS AND LANDOWNERS,

09:29.402 --> 09:32.939
THAT IN ITSELF MAKES THIS WORTH
MORE THAN A NORMAL SAMPLER.

09:33.073 --> 09:34.974
IN PROBABLY A RETAIL SETTING,

09:35.108 --> 09:37.977
AT A HIGH-END MUNICIPAL SHOW
LIKE PHILADELPHIA,

09:38.111 --> 09:39.546
I WOULD EXPECT IT
TO BE PRICED

09:39.679 --> 09:43.116
IN PROBABLY THE $2K
TO $3,000 RANGE.

09:43.249 --> 09:44.751
GUEST: OH MY GOSH!

09:44.884 --> 09:46.086
OH MY GOSH!

09:46.219 --> 09:47.087
APPRAISER: THAT'S QUITE NICE.

09:47.220 --> 09:48.121
GUEST: WOW! THAT'S WONDERFUL!

09:48.254 --> 09:50.190
APPRAISER: THANK YOU

09:50.323 --> 09:51.357
GUEST: YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

09:51.491 --> 09:52.559
I'M DELIGHTED.

09:52.692 --> 09:53.860
APPRAISER: YOU'RE WELCOME.

09:53.993 --> 09:55.728
APPRAISER: WELCOME TO
CHESAPEAKE COLLECTIBLES EASTON.

09:55.862 --> 09:57.964
WHAT DID YOU BRING IN
FOR US HERE TODAY?

09:58.098 --> 10:01.201
GUEST: THIS IS A SIGNATURE
FROM ROBERT E LEE,

10:01.334 --> 10:03.403
AND THEN A LETTER ABOUT
THE CIRCUMSTANCES

10:03.536 --> 10:05.238
UNDER WHICH IT WAS COLLECTED.

10:05.371 --> 10:06.773
APPRAISER: EVERYBODY KNOWS
ROBERT E. LEE,

10:06.906 --> 10:07.874
VERY FAMOUS AMERICAN,

10:08.007 --> 10:10.143
BELOVED BY THE TROOPS
THAT SERVED UNDER HIM

10:10.276 --> 10:11.845
DURING THE CIVIL WAR

10:11.978 --> 10:13.580
AS COMMANDER OF THE ARMY
OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA,

10:13.713 --> 10:16.916
AND A MAN VERY RESPECTED
BY HIS ADVERSARIES.

10:17.050 --> 10:19.953
AUTOGRAPH COLLECTING,
BEING AS HOT AS IT IS TODAY,

10:20.086 --> 10:22.222
HAS ACTUALLY BEEN GOING
ON FOR A LONG TIME.

10:22.355 --> 10:23.223
ROBERT E. LEE,

10:23.356 --> 10:25.225
A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTED
HIS AUTOGRAPH,

10:25.358 --> 10:27.961
BOTH DURING THE CIVIL WAR
AND AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.

10:28.094 --> 10:31.831
AMONGST HIS AUTOGRAPHS THAT
ARE USUALLY THE MOST DESIRABLE

10:31.965 --> 10:33.933
ARE THE ONES
WHERE HE SIGNED A PHOTOGRAPH.

10:34.067 --> 10:36.836
SLIPS OF PAPER LIKE THIS,
VERY INTERESTING AS WELL.

10:36.970 --> 10:39.706
DATED IT APRIL 10, 1866,

10:39.839 --> 10:41.407
ACTUALLY A DAY AND A YEAR LATER

10:41.541 --> 10:44.277
AFTER THE SURRENDER AT
APPOMATTOX THERE AT LEXINGTON.

10:44.410 --> 10:48.348
WHAT PARTICULARLY KNOCKED ME OUT
ABOUT THIS WAS IN THE LETTER,

10:48.481 --> 10:50.650
IT'S A VERY EXTENSIVE LETTER
FOR YOUR FAMILY.

10:50.783 --> 10:53.086
THE WRITER MENTIONS
THAT HE HAD MET HERE

10:53.219 --> 10:56.956
WITH THIS DISTINGUISHED REBEL,
HE UNDERLINED REBEL,

10:57.090 --> 10:58.758
GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE,

10:58.892 --> 11:00.727
AND GOT HIM TO SIGN
THIS PIECE OF PAPER.

11:00.860 --> 11:03.897
AND THEN HE EMPHASIZES
THAT HE KNEW IT WAS GENUINE

11:04.030 --> 11:06.499
BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN IN
LEE'S HOUSE WHEN HE SIGNED IT,

11:06.633 --> 11:09.269
ALONG WITH LEE'S WIFE
AND LEE'S DAUGHTER.

11:09.402 --> 11:12.305
AND TO ADD THAT KIND
OF PROVENANCE WITH THE ITEM

11:12.438 --> 11:14.107
IS VERY UNUSUAL.

11:14.240 --> 11:15.975
HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN
A VALUE PLACED ON IT?

11:16.109 --> 11:17.177
GUEST: NO.

11:17.310 --> 11:18.978
APPRAISER: WELL, I WOULD SAY,
AT AUCTION,

11:19.112 --> 11:21.381
WITH THE PROVENANCE
ADDING TO THIS,

11:21.514 --> 11:25.285
THAT THIS WOULD PROBABLY
BE A $1,500 TO $2,500 ITEM,

11:25.418 --> 11:26.986
OR POSSIBLY A LITTLE BIT MORE.

11:27.120 --> 11:28.521
YOU JUST DON'T SEE THEM
LIKE THIS,

11:28.655 --> 11:30.023
WITH THIS KIND OF PROVENANCE.

11:30.156 --> 11:31.524
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
BRINGING IT IN FOR US TODAY.

11:31.658 --> 11:33.193
GUEST: WELL, THANK YOU.

11:33.793 --> 11:35.128
APPRAISER: THANK YOU SO MUCH

11:35.261 --> 11:37.330
FOR COMING FROM ROCK HALL,
MARYLAND TODAY

11:37.463 --> 11:39.566
WITH THIS TREASURE
OF A PAINTING.

11:39.699 --> 11:41.601
HOW DID YOU GET THIS PAINTING?

11:41.734 --> 11:42.936
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT IT?

11:43.069 --> 11:47.640
GUEST: WELL, MY MOTHER-IN-LAW,
SHE HAD A SHOP,

11:47.774 --> 11:50.743
AND SOME PEOPLE BROUGHT IT
INTO HER SHOP.

11:50.877 --> 11:53.346
AND THEN MY HUSBAND,
HE LIKED THE PAINTING,

11:53.479 --> 11:56.349
AND WE PAID $25
FOR THE PAINTING.

11:56.482 --> 11:59.319
APPRAISER: OKAY.
AND HE BOUGHT THE PAINTING THEN?

11:59.452 --> 12:03.089
WELL, THREE MISCHIEVOUS BOYS
PLAYING COWBOYS AND INDIANS

12:03.223 --> 12:06.226
WI PROBABLY TWO
OF THE CUTEST DOGS I'VE SEEN.

12:06.359 --> 12:08.027
SORT OF A GREAT EXAMPLE

12:08.161 --> 12:10.964
OF THE GOLDEN AGE
OF AMERICAN ILLUSTRATION.

12:11.097 --> 12:15.235
AND THIS DATES SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN MID-1920s, 1930s.

12:15.368 --> 12:18.805
THE ARTIST SIGNED HIS NAME
EUGENE IVERD,

12:18.938 --> 12:21.441
HIS REAL NAME
IS GEORGE ERICKSON.

12:21.574 --> 12:23.309
HE TAUGHT FOR A WHILE,

12:23.443 --> 12:25.712
AND TO SUPPLEMENT
HIS TEACHING SALARY,

12:25.845 --> 12:28.014
HE BEGAN DOING ILLUSTRATIONS

12:28.147 --> 12:29.716
AND HE WANTED TO SUBMIT
AN ILLUSTRATION

12:29.849 --> 12:32.118
TO THE SATURDAY EVENING POST ,

12:32.252 --> 12:34.887
BUT HAD HEARD
IF THEY REJECT YOU ONCE,

12:35.021 --> 12:37.156
THEY WON'T OPEN THE MAIL AGAIN.

12:37.290 --> 12:40.260
SO HE TOOK HIS BROTHER'S
MIDDLE NAME, IVERD,

12:40.393 --> 12:42.362
AND THE BOY ACROSS THE STREET,
EUGENE,

12:42.495 --> 12:44.998
AND PUT THEM TOGETHER
AND SUBMITTED HIS FIRST ENTRY

12:45.131 --> 12:47.333
TO THE SATURDAY EVENING POST
AS EUGENE IVERD,

12:47.467 --> 12:49.202
AND HE WAS ACCEPTED.

12:49.335 --> 12:53.573
AND HE WENT ON TO DO
29 DIFFERENT COVERS

12:53.706 --> 12:55.508
FOR THE SATURDAY EVENING POST ,

12:55.642 --> 12:58.444
BUT HE ALSO DID A LOT
OF ADVERTISING ILLUSTRATIONS.

12:58.578 --> 13:02.148
HE WAS WELL REGARDED BY
THE SATURDAY EVENING POST .

13:02.282 --> 13:05.485
HE RECEIVED THE SAME AMOUNT
OF MONEY FOR HIS ILLUSTRATIONS

13:05.618 --> 13:07.854
AS DID NORMAN ROCKWELL
AT THE TIME.

13:07.987 --> 13:11.024
I WOULD RECOMMEND
IN THE FUTURE

13:11.157 --> 13:13.526
THAT YOUR FAMILY TAKE
THE PAINTINGS OUT OF THE ROOMS

13:13.660 --> 13:18.097
BEFORE YOU ROLL THE PAINT
BECAUSE WE HAVE OVERSPRAY HERE.

13:18.231 --> 13:20.900
THAT CAN BE TAKEN OFF
BY A PROFESSIONAL.

13:21.034 --> 13:23.703
BUT THE VALUE
OF THIS TYPE OF PIECE,

13:23.836 --> 13:26.806
EVEN IN THIS CONDITION BECAUSE
IT COULD ALL BE CORRECTED,

13:26.939 --> 13:31.277
AUCTION VALUE MAY BE AROUND
$10K TO $15,000.

13:31.411 --> 13:35.615
BUT I WOULD INSURE THIS PIECE
FOR ABOUT $25,000.

13:35.748 --> 13:36.883
GUEST: VERY NICE.

13:37.016 --> 13:40.019
APPRAISER: THANK YOU YOU SO MUCH

13:46.492 --> 13:48.795
BUT, THERE'S A LOT MORE
TO DO AND SEE

13:48.928 --> 13:50.797
IN THE REST OF TALBOT COUNTY.

IN THIS ART DECO STYLE.

14:03.910 --> 14:07.580
IT'S OFTEN CALLED THE "SHOWPLACE

14:07.714 --> 14:08.948
ANOTHER SHORE LANDMARK

APPRAISER: CAN YOU TELL ME
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

15:08.975 --> 15:12.779
WHAT YOU BROUGHT TODAY,
AND WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM?

15:12.912 --> 15:15.214
GUEST: ABOUT 30 MEDALLIONS,

15:15.348 --> 15:17.083
AND I PICKED THEM UP
AT THE FLEA MARKET.

15:17.216 --> 15:18.251
APPRAISER: AT THE FLEA MARKET?

15:18.384 --> 15:19.051
GUEST: YES.

15:19.185 --> 15:20.153
APPRAISER: GOOD FLEA MARKET!

15:20.286 --> 15:21.354
GUEST: OH YES.

15:21.487 --> 15:23.356
APPRAISER: IN EACH INSTANCE
WHAT THEY WERE,

15:23.489 --> 15:27.660
WERE PIECES USED TO COMMEMORATE
VERY SPECIFIC EVENTS,

15:27.794 --> 15:30.129
OR LOCATIONS, OR INSTITUTIONS.

15:30.263 --> 15:32.965
WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A COUPLE
OF IMAGES OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

15:33.099 --> 15:35.101
JAMES MADISON AND DOLLY MADISON.

15:35.234 --> 15:38.337
BUT YOU DO HAVE A COUPLE OF
REALLY INTERESTING PIECES HERE.

15:38.471 --> 15:40.907
ONE, THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY
OF COCA-COLA.

15:41.040 --> 15:42.909
IT'S A WELL-MADE PIECE.

15:43.042 --> 15:48.047
IT WAS ALSO MADE BY ONE
OF THE MAIN METAL MANUFACTURERS,

15:48.181 --> 15:50.650
WHICH IS THE MEDALLIC
ART COMPANY.

15:50.783 --> 15:53.786
BUT THE ONE THAT PROBABLY
HAS THE GREATEST VALUE

15:53.920 --> 15:57.924
IS THIS ONE HERE
ISSUED TO CAPTAIN JAMES BIDDLE

15:58.057 --> 16:00.359
BY THE CONGRESS

16:00.493 --> 16:05.898

OF THE BRITISH SHIP PENGUIN .

16:06.032 --> 16:08.067
MILITARY SERVICE MEDALLIONS

16:08.201 --> 16:10.436
HAVE GREATER VALUE
IN MANY INSTANCES.

16:10.570 --> 16:13.539
HOW MUCH DID YOU SPEND
TO ACQUIRE ALL OF THIS?

16:13.673 --> 16:17.944
GUEST: ABOUT $32 OR SO.

16:18.077 --> 16:19.645
APPRAISER: SO ABOUT
A DOLLAR A PIECE?

16:19.779 --> 16:20.613
GUEST: ABOUT A DOLLAR A PIECE.

16:20.746 --> 16:22.014
APPRAISER: WELL,
IN MANY INSTANCES,

16:22.148 --> 16:27.286
THESE ARE PROBABLY
NO MORE THAN $5 TO $15 EACH,

16:27.420 --> 16:32.291
HOWEVER, THE COCA-COLA
PROBABLY WOULD RUN $25 TO $40.

16:32.425 --> 16:35.027
THIS PIECE, WITH THE HISTORY,

16:35.161 --> 16:38.764
COULD EASILY RUN $100 TO $150
FOR JUST ITSELF.

16:38.898 --> 16:40.733
GUEST: GREAT!

16:40.867 --> 16:43.336
APPRAISER: SO, IN THE COLLECTION
THAT WE HAVE HERE,

16:43.469 --> 16:45.671
THERE'S PROBABLY A VALUE
BETWEEN $500 AND $700.

16:45.805 --> 16:47.273
GUEST: OH, THANK YOU.

16:47.406 --> 16:50.343
APPRAISER: SO YOUR $32

16:50.476 --> 16:51.644

16:51.777 --> 16:53.212
VERY INFORMATIVE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

16:53.346 --> 16:55.281
APPRAISER: THANK YOU

16:55.414 --> 16:58.518
APPRAISER: WHAT DID YOU BRING
ALONG FOR US TO TAKE A LOOK AT?

16:58.651 --> 17:00.052
GUEST: WELL, I BROUGHT YOU
A LETTER

17:00.186 --> 17:05.358
THAT F. SCOTT FITZGERALD WROTE
TO MY AUNT IN BALTIMORE IN 1932,

17:05.491 --> 17:07.293
AND IT WAS IN RESPONSE
TO SOMETHING

17:07.426 --> 17:08.561
THAT SHE HAD WRITTEN TO HIM.

17:08.694 --> 17:10.863
APPRAISER: VERY NICE THAT YOU
STILL HAD THE ENVELOPE

17:10.997 --> 17:12.532
WITH HER ADDRESS
DOWN ON ST. PAUL STREET.

17:12.665 --> 17:14.433
WHAT IS THE PHOTOGRAPH?

17:14.567 --> 17:16.335
GUEST: THIS IS MY AUNT.

17:16.469 --> 17:19.138
NOW, THIS IS HER WEDDING
PICTURE, WHICH WAS IN '38.

17:19.272 --> 17:22.608
SHE WAS STILL A SINGLE LADY
IN BALTIMORE IN '32

17:22.742 --> 17:23.976
WHEN THIS LETTER WAS WRITTEN.

17:24.110 --> 17:27.546
APPRAISER:
MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR
WITH F. SCOTT FITZGERALD,

17:27.680 --> 17:29.215
THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVELIST

17:29.348 --> 17:31.784
WHO WROTE THE GREAT
AMERICAN NOVEL THE GREAT GATSBY .

17:31.918 --> 17:34.887
IN THE LETTER HE WAS INVITED
TO GO PLAY TENNIS,

17:35.021 --> 17:36.856
AND HE HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK
FROM NEW YORK,

17:36.989 --> 17:38.991
POSSIBLY TALKING
TO HIS PUBLISHERS.

17:39.125 --> 17:41.093
THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE THE BOAT
DOWN TO VIRGINIA BEACH

17:41.227 --> 17:44.096
SO HE COULD GET
HIS LAST SWIM OF THE YEAR.

17:44.230 --> 17:46.465
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
INTERESTED ME, IN PARTICULAR,

17:46.599 --> 17:48.901
THIS IS SEPTEMBER 1932,

17:49.035 --> 17:53.506
AND THE STOCK MARKET HAD CRASHED
IN OCTOBER OF 1929.

17:53.639 --> 17:56.475
ALMOST ONE OUT OF FOUR AMERICANS
WAS UNEMPLOYED,

17:56.609 --> 17:58.844
YET THE FITZGERALDS
ARE KIND OF LIVING THE LIFE

17:58.978 --> 18:01.247
OF THE GREAT GATSBYS.

18:01.380 --> 18:05.217
HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANYBODY
PUT A VALUE ON YOUR LETTERS?

18:05.351 --> 18:06.319
GUEST: NO, NOT AT ALL.

18:06.452 --> 18:08.187
APPRAISER: A LETTER
FROM F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

18:08.321 --> 18:11.657
SHOULD BRING BETWEEN
$3K TO $5,000.

18:11.791 --> 18:13.893
AND FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES,

18:14.026 --> 18:17.263
I WOULD INSURE THIS LETTER
FOR $8,000.

18:17.396 --> 18:18.965
GUEST: WOW!

18:19.098 --> 18:20.967
AND TO THINK WE'VE HAD THAT
TUCKED AWAY

18:21.100 --> 18:22.868
IN A LITTLE SANDWICH BAG

18:23.002 --> 18:26.105
AMONG OTHER MEMORABILIA
FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS.

18:26.238 --> 18:27.607
APPRAISER: AN IMPORTANT PIECE

18:27.740 --> 18:29.942
RELATING TO A VERY SIGNIFICANT
FIGURE IN AMERICAN LITERATURE.

18:30.076 --> 18:31.444
GUEST: THAT'S AN AMAZING NUMBER

18:31.577 --> 18:34.780
FOR SOMETHING THAT WE WERE
TREATING ALMOST CASUALLY.

18:35.815 --> 18:37.550
APPRAISER: YOU'VE BROUGHT US

18:37.683 --> 18:39.418
SOME GREAT EXAMPLES
OF ARTWORK LITHOGRAPHS

18:39.552 --> 18:42.188
FROM THE LOCAL EASTON ARTIST
RUTH STARR ROSE.

18:42.321 --> 18:43.556
GUEST: YES.

18:43.689 --> 18:48.094
MY WIFE'S GREAT AUNT,
BACK IN THE '30s AND '40s,

18:48.227 --> 18:51.564
WAS A NURSE,
A GRADUATE OF EASTON HOSPITAL,

18:51.697 --> 18:55.434
AND SHE WORKED FOR A DOCTOR,
WHO'S DR. ZERBY,

18:55.568 --> 18:58.838
AND EVIDENTLY, DR. ZERBY AND
RUTH STARR ROSE WERE FRIENDS

18:58.971 --> 19:00.873
BECAUSE SHE HAS
AN INSCRIPTION HERE,

19:01.007 --> 19:02.908
"TO MY GOOD FRIEND THE ZERB."

19:03.042 --> 19:05.645
AND SHE'S RE-SIGNED IT IN 1935.

19:05.778 --> 19:06.846
APPRAISER: WELL, RUTH STARR ROSE

19:06.979 --> 19:11.117
WAS A WOMAN HERE IN EASTON
OF SOME PRIVILEGE.

19:11.250 --> 19:15.554
SHE WAS A WHITE WOMAN WHO WAS
INVOLVED IN THE METHODIST CHURCH

19:15.688 --> 19:19.025
AND LOOKED AROUND HER
AND FELT THAT THE TRIBULATIONS

19:19.158 --> 19:20.259
OF SOME OF THE BLACK PEOPLE
IN THE AREA,

19:20.393 --> 19:23.729
THAT THEIR SPIRITUALITY
HELPED GET THEM THROUGH IT.

19:23.863 --> 19:26.766
AND SHE USED HER
GREAT ARTISTIC TALENT

19:26.899 --> 19:30.069
TO SHOW, IN A VERY RESPECTFUL,
DIGNIFIED MANNER,

19:30.202 --> 19:35.341
A LOT OF THE LOCAL EASTON
BLACK HOME LIFE.

19:35.474 --> 19:39.912
A LOT OF THE PIECES ARE TITLED
WITH SPIRITUAL SONG NAMES,

19:40.046 --> 19:41.947
LIKE "JOSHUA FIT THE BATTLE"
AND SUCH.

19:42.081 --> 19:45.284
BUT THESE BOTH HAVE
PERSONALIZED INSCRIPTIONS.

19:45.418 --> 19:47.019
THEY'RE DONE IN THE '30s.

19:47.153 --> 19:49.055
THESE ARE VERY REPRESENTATIVE
OF WHAT SHE DID,

19:49.188 --> 19:51.691
OTHER THAN THIS IS VERY LARGE.

19:51.824 --> 19:55.628
THE PIECES TEND TO RETAIL ONLINE
IN THIS SIZE

19:55.761 --> 19:57.363
BETWEEN $700 AND $1,000.

19:57.496 --> 19:59.932
THIS ONE, BEING LARGE, I WOULD
PUT IT AT AN INSURANCE VALUE

20:00.066 --> 20:03.069
OF ABOUT $1,800 ON IT.

20:03.202 --> 20:04.804
BUT IT MAY HISTORICALLY GO UP.

20:04.937 --> 20:07.073
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BRINGING THIS IN.

20:07.206 --> 20:08.607
GUEST: THAT'S GREAT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

20:08.741 --> 20:10.576
APPRAISER: WHAT DID YOU BRING
WITH YOU?

20:10.710 --> 20:13.012
GUEST: IT'S A COLLECTION
OF FAMILY SILVER PIECES:

20:13.145 --> 20:15.347
A PITCHER, AND SOME SPOONS,
AND SALT SPOONS.

20:15.481 --> 20:17.650
THE PITCHER
IS MADE BY ANDREW ELLICOTT

20:17.783 --> 20:19.151
WHO WAS A BALTIMORE SILVERSMITH.

20:19.285 --> 20:21.754
AND THEN THE SPOONS WERE MADE
BY A LOCAL SILVERSMITH

20:21.887 --> 20:23.055
HERE IN EASTON.

20:23.189 --> 20:24.590
APPRAISER: THE SPOONS,
IN PARTICULAR,

20:24.724 --> 20:27.760
ARE AN IMPORTANT PIECE
OF COLONIAL TABLEWARE.

20:27.893 --> 20:29.862
MOST FAMILIES
WOULD HAVE A KNIFE,

20:29.995 --> 20:32.631
BUT TO ACTUALLY HAVE A SPOON

20:32.765 --> 20:37.403
MEANT THAT YOUR FAMILY WAS
ASPIRING AND UPWARDLY MOBILE.

20:37.536 --> 20:39.338
SO TO ACQUIRE ONE,

20:39.472 --> 20:42.041
FREQUENTLY COINS WOULD
HAVE TO BE MELTED DOWN,

20:42.174 --> 20:44.543
AND HENCE THE TERM
"COIN SILVER."

20:44.677 --> 20:47.179
THESE ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER
BY COLLECTORS,

20:47.313 --> 20:51.884
AND IN THE MARKETPLACE TODAY,
THE SPOONS OF THIS SIZE,

20:52.017 --> 20:57.256
WOULD BE SELLING
BETWEEN $85 AND $150 EACH.

20:57.389 --> 21:01.460
THE CREAMER ON ITS OWN WOULD
BRING YOU SOMEWHERE BETWEEN,

21:01.594 --> 21:04.563
LET'S SAY $800 AND $1,200.

21:04.697 --> 21:06.031
IT'S A VERY NICE COLLECTION.

21:06.165 --> 21:07.533
THANK YOU FOR COMING
TO CHESAPEAKE COLLECTIBLES .

21:07.666 --> 21:08.734
GUEST: THANK YOU.

21:09.802 --> 21:12.238
APPRAISER: I SEE YOU BROUGHT IN
A FEW SOLDIERS

21:12.371 --> 21:14.774
FOR US TO LOOK AT TODAY
FROM ELASTOLIN AND LIONEL.

21:14.907 --> 21:16.242
CAN YOU GIVE US
A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT THEM?

21:16.375 --> 21:18.544
GUEST: I WOULD SAY
ALMOST ALL OF THEM

21:18.677 --> 21:21.847
CAME FROM A DEPARTMENT STORE
IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

21:21.981 --> 21:24.383
I WAS THE FIRST GRANDCHILD
IN THE GROUP.

21:24.517 --> 21:28.187
MY AUNTS, THEY WERE NOT MARRIED,
SO THEY ADOPTED ME A LITTLE BIT.

21:28.320 --> 21:29.889
APPRAISER: HOW OLD WERE YOU
WHEN YOU RECEIVED THESE?

21:30.022 --> 21:32.057
GUEST: ABOUT FIVE
WHEN I STARTED.

21:32.191 --> 21:34.293
APPRAISER: SOMEWHERE AROUND
1929, 1930?

21:34.426 --> 21:35.327
GUEST: RIGHT.

21:35.461 --> 21:36.428
APPRAISER: THAT'S THE ERA
OF THESE FIGURES.

21:36.562 --> 21:37.696
DID YOU PLAY WITH THEM?

21:37.830 --> 21:38.631
GUEST: VERY CAREFULLY.

21:38.764 --> 21:40.366
I WAS TAUGHT
TO HANDLE THEM GENTLY.

21:40.499 --> 21:43.269
THIS WAS DURING THE DEPRESSION
AND THINGS WERE PRETTY LEAN.

21:43.402 --> 21:45.471
APPRAISER: THESE FIGURES
WERE MADE IN GERMANY

21:45.604 --> 21:47.406
BY TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES.

21:47.540 --> 21:48.808
THEY TOOK A MOLD

21:48.941 --> 21:51.544
AND THEY MIXED LIKE A CEREAL
MIXTURE AND ANIMAL GLUE,

21:51.677 --> 21:52.878
THEN HEATED THEM.

21:53.012 --> 21:53.879
THEN ONCE THEY WERE FINISHED,

21:54.013 --> 21:55.181
THEY PULLED THEM BACK
OUT OF THE MOLD

21:55.314 --> 21:57.249
AND EITHER THEY WENT TO
THE FACTORY TO BE HAND-PAINTED,

21:57.383 --> 22:00.586
OR THEY WENT TO WHAT THEY CALLED
"KITCHEN LABOR" AROUND TOWN

22:00.719 --> 22:02.421
FOR THE LADIES TO PAINT.

22:02.555 --> 22:04.156
YOU HAVE THE RED CROSS FIGURES,

22:04.290 --> 22:05.925
YOU HAVE THE WOUNDED
SOLDIER FIGURES,

22:06.058 --> 22:08.427
A MOUNTED TROOP,
AND A SAILOR GROUP.

22:08.561 --> 22:10.830
OVERALL,
IT'S A GREAT COLLECTION.

22:10.963 --> 22:12.231
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT THEY MIGHT BE WORTH?

22:12.364 --> 22:14.466
GUEST: I DON'T KNOW,
MAYBE A DOLLAR APIECE?

22:14.600 --> 22:16.302
SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
TWO DOLLARS APIECE?

22:16.435 --> 22:18.204
APPRAISER: THE RED CROSS
WAGON THERE,

22:18.337 --> 22:20.873
SELLS PRIMARILY
FROM $150 TO $200.

22:21.006 --> 22:22.208
GUEST: HOLY SMOKES!

22:22.341 --> 22:23.542
APPRAISER: THE LITTLE CART
OVER THERE WITH THE TWO HORSES,

22:23.676 --> 22:24.643
PROBABLY AROUND $100.

22:24.777 --> 22:25.878
GUEST: MY, MY!

22:26.011 --> 22:27.346
APPRAISER: I WOULD ESTIMATE
THIS AT AUCTION

22:27.479 --> 22:29.682
SOMEWHERE AROUND $200 TO $250.

22:29.815 --> 22:31.650
YOUR LARGER FIGURES,
WHICH ARE MORE COLLECTIBLE,

22:31.784 --> 22:33.652
THEY RUN $15 TO $20 APIECE.

22:33.786 --> 22:36.622
SO OVERALL YOU'VE GOT
CLOSE TO $500, $600 HERE.

22:36.755 --> 22:38.190
GUEST: GLAD I TOOK CARE OF THEM.

22:38.324 --> 22:39.558
APPRAISER: I'M GLAD
YOU TOOK CARE OF THEM TOO.

22:39.692 --> 22:40.526
IT'S A GREAT COLLECTION.

22:40.659 --> 22:41.427
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

22:42.361 --> 22:44.797
APPRAISER: WHAT IS THIS
ALL ABOUT, THESE COINS?

22:44.930 --> 22:48.634
GUEST: WELL, ABOUT
40 SOME YEARS AGO,

22:48.767 --> 22:52.805
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE
ON VACATION IN REHOBOTH BEACH.

22:52.938 --> 22:54.740
ONE OF THE PEOPLE
THAT WE WERE STAYING WITH

22:54.874 --> 22:58.310
TOLD US ABOUT
THIS OLD IRISH SHIPWRECK

22:58.444 --> 23:02.281
AND SOME OF THE COINS
WERE WASHING UP ON THE BEACH.

23:02.414 --> 23:07.419
SO WE DECIDED TO DRIVE DOWN
TO AN AREA CALLED "COIN BEACH."

23:07.553 --> 23:09.989
MY HUSBAND DID
A LITTLE SURF CASTING

23:10.122 --> 23:14.860
WHILE I WOULD LOOK FOR COINS,
OR SHELLS, WHATEVER,

23:14.994 --> 23:19.798
NEVER DREAMING THAT I WOULD
FIND COINS, BUT I DID.

23:19.932 --> 23:25.271
I FOUND SIX AND THEY ARE DATED
TO THE LATE 1700s.

23:25.404 --> 23:26.605
APPRAISER: YOU KNOW,
I THINK EVERYBODY

23:26.739 --> 23:28.641
WHO'S EVER WALKED ALONG
THE BEACH

23:28.774 --> 23:33.112
HAS DREAMS OF FINDING
PIECES OF EIGHT AND DOUBLOONS.

23:33.245 --> 23:39.051
THE FAITHFUL STEWARD
THAT HAD SUNK IN 1785

23:39.184 --> 23:41.320
WAS COMING OVER FROM IRELAND,
AS YOU SAID,

23:41.453 --> 23:42.721
AND WAS COMING
TO PHILADELPHIA.

23:42.855 --> 23:44.556
GUEST: LONDONDERRY ISLAND.

23:44.690 --> 23:47.693
APPRAISER: YES INDEED,

23:47.826 --> 23:48.894
AND GOT CAUGHT, MUST HAVE BEEN
A NORTHEASTER.

23:49.028 --> 23:53.332
ALMOST 250 PEOPLE ON BOARD,
AND ONLY 68 SURVIVED.

23:53.465 --> 23:56.535
IT WAS BELIEVED
THAT THERE WAS 400 BARRELS

23:56.669 --> 24:00.205
OF HALF PENNY COPPER COINS,

24:00.339 --> 24:04.310
AND OLD GEORGE III AS KING
OF ENGLAND, HIS FACE ON THERE.

24:04.443 --> 24:08.480
WELL, THE MONETARY VALUE
IS ACTUALLY FAIRLY MODEST,

24:08.614 --> 24:13.585
PROBABLY $25 APIECE,
OVERALL $150.

24:13.719 --> 24:15.120
BUT THE THING IS,

24:15.254 --> 24:18.958
THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU HAD
GOING ALONG THE BEACH

24:19.091 --> 24:21.794
FINDING THOSE COINS
IS PRICELESS.

24:21.927 --> 24:23.796
GUEST: IT WAS.
IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

24:23.929 --> 24:25.664
APPRAISER: I ENVY YOU
WITH YOUR SUCCESS.

24:25.798 --> 24:27.399
GUEST: I'D BE GLAD TO GO BACK.

24:27.533 --> 24:29.401
APPRAISER: AND THANK YOU
VERY MUCH

24:29.535 --> 24:31.203

24:43.015 --> 24:45.417

ARE MANUSCRIPTS

24:45.551 --> 24:48.420

REVERE IN THE UNITED STATES.

24:50.556 --> 24:52.157

WE HAVE PAUL STORR.

24:52.291 --> 24:55.160
SO HE'S THE TOP DOG AS FAR
AS SILVERSMITHS IN BRITAIN.

24:55.294 --> 24:56.595
>> APPRAISER: IT'S NOT
ON THE INTERNET.

24:56.729 --> 24:57.963
I CAN'T LOOK IN A REFERENCE BOOK

24:58.097 --> 25:01.767
BECAUSE THIS IS THAT UNUSUAL
A PIECE OF CIVIL RIGHTS HISTORY

25:01.900 --> 25:03.035
THAT WAS OVERLOOKED.

25:03.168 --> 25:05.504
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR CHESAPEAKE COLLECTIBLES .

25:05.637 --> 25:06.905
